What I'm Talking about: The Hip Hop Socialite™ (thehiphopsocialite.com) is a former attorney and professional model/hostess based out of New York City. She began her modeling career in her hometown of Wilmington, NC when she started doing background work in TV shows and movies such as "Dawson's Creek", "Black Knight", and "A Domestic Disturbance", to name a few. She earned a law degree from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. Since her arrival in New York City, she has been a featured model on Maxim (Magazine) Radio twice (Sirius Satellite), worked as a spokesmodel for companies such as Remy Martin, Georgi Vodka, Smirnoff Ice, and Hennessy (among others), been featured on websites such as musicablack.com, worked with Blue Ice Models (recipient of the 2008 Underground Music Award for Best Modeling Agency), and worked with networks such as the CW (CW11 News Black Tie Boxing At Cipriani's Promo Spot), MTV3 (MTV3's Sucker Free Latino), HBO and ESPN (various boxing matches).
Her future plans include to continue co-hosting NYC's XTV (www.xquizitproductions.com), to continue working as one of only a handful of African American ring girls in the sport of professional boxing, and to continue hosting events for clubs such as Vesta, Guesthouse, and organizations such as the National Kidney Foundation. She has also established herself as an entertainment news/gossip blogger, contributing stories and pop culture commentary for websites including xquizitproductions.com and ggurls.com. Beginning in the new year, you will be able to hear her perspective on hip hop (everything affecting the hip hop generation and community) on SD Radio when it debuts in January. Fun Fact: The nickname The Hip Hop Socialite™ was given to her by a pioneering hip hop MC because of a combination of factors: her southern upbringing, her work in the hip hop industry working for a major label and as an independent music professional, her social circle (which includes everyone from pioneers of hip hop to up and coming artists), and her attendance of many industry related events around NYC with her boyfriend, one of the founding fathers of hip hop.
